== The Parasessions ==
Body and Mind: Interaction between Motion, Space, and Thought This
panel invites topics that address the issue of how space and motion
are construed by language and other cognitive modalities. Abstracts in
syntax, psycholinguistics, anthropology, socio-linguistics, and sign
language research are welcome.
Invited Speakers:
David McNeill, University of Chicago
Leonard Talmy, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York
Quantitative Approaches to Theoretical Issues
Theoretical linguistics has traditionally relied upon subjective data
obtained with native speakers. This panel seeks to address issues of
theoretical import using quantitative, empirical methodologies for the
study of disciplines such as semantics, syntax, morphology, and
phonology.
Invited Speakers
Jeff Runner, University of Rochester
Kjell Saebo, University of Oslo
Perspectives on Language Learnability
New work in theoretical linguistics often receives critique with
respect to its implications for learnability of language. This panel
will explore current issues in language learnability. We invite
proposals that address learnability in any sub-field(s) of
linguistics. We also strongly encourage work from a variety of
disciplines related to linguistics, particularly computer science,
cognitive science, neuroscience, and psychology.
Invited Speakers:
Sean Fulop, University of Chicago
Bruce Tesar, Rutgers University
Submission Deadline: January 24, 2003. No exceptions.
This year, we have moved to a Web-based abstract submission system to
streamline the abstract submission process. We strongly encourage
using this submission system.

detailed time line, as well as a template and suggested style sheet at
